used for WLAN visibility.
Automated Test Results Management
Serving as a centralized test results and device management system, the free
Link-Live cloud service transforms team workflows with the ability to quickly
and easily log, document, and report test activity from all LinkSprinter®,
LinkRunner AT, LinkRunner G2, LinkRunner 10G, AirCheck™ G2, and OneTouch™
AT hand-held network testers.
Once the instrument is connected to the Link-Live Cloud service, your test
results are automatically uploaded to the dashboard for project management
and reporting. You have the option of uploading additional files, screenshots,
images, profiles, packet captures, location information, and comments
anytime. Also, certain NetAlly instruments with AllyCare Support can receive
firmware updates “over the network” from Link-Live as they become available.
An API is available to retrieve and integrate data from Link-Live into other
management platforms, such as your trouble-ticket application or network
management system. This gives you the ability to easily provide proof-of-
performance and better manage jobs and sta eiciency.
This unified dashboard of both wired and Wi-Fi network connectivity results
enables you to:
• Reduce results management overhead for multiple testers and users
• Enables seamless collaboration between site personnel and remote experts
•
Attach photos, user comments to each result, adding context for future
changes and troubleshooting
• For asset management, ability to associate serial numbers of installed
devices, and/or cable/walljack label to specific test results
Wi-Fi Network Visibility
With the use of a USB-A based Wi-Fi adapter (such as the Edimax AC1200 for
802.11ac/b/g/n) provides for connectivity and wireless testing using a third-
party apps, available for download from the Link-Live app store. While not
nearly as powerful as the tools available in EtherScope nXG or AirCheck G2, this
capability provides an essential level of visibility where needed. Note, other
than the upload/attachment of screen captures, there is no integration from
third-party apps with Link-Live. Information collected from these apps cannot
be saved to Link-Live (another reason to utilize EtherScope nXG or AirCheck G2
for Wi-Fi troubleshooting.)

Additional Troubleshooting Tools
Packet Capture: You can capture up to 10G line-rate to create a PCAP file of up
to 1Gigabyte. Packet slicing and filtering are supported, and PCAP files can be
uploaded to the Link-Live Cloud Service for easy sharing.
Cable Test: determine length, shorts, and split pairs and locate opens on UTP
cable. Verify the wiremap of UTP and ScTP cable with a WireView adapter.
It can generate either analog tone or the unique digital tone for the Fluke
Networks® IntelliTone™ Probe for quick cable tracing.
Android Apps: Users can download apps from the Link-Live app store to
accomplish many tasks in addition to testing.
